Plouffe urges supporters to keep up the pressure

Top Obama aide David Plouffe is urging supporters to continue sending stories about what a $2,000 tax hike would mean to them and promising that each is being read and may be referenced by the President Obama or even spur a visit from him as he continues his push for an extension of middle class tax cuts.

"Right now, economists and speechwriters, press secretaries and policy aides are all pitching in on top of their other duties to make sure that every single voice gets heard," he wrote in an email Tuesday. "...If you take the time to share your story, you're going to get the attention of a White House staffer. That's the bottom line -- someone is going to take time to listen. But we're not stopping there.

"We're putting these stories on the front page of the White House website. We're sharing them on Facebook and Twitter. The President is talking about them in his speeches and taking time to sit down with folks who have written in -- even hitting the road to meet with one of these families at their kitchen table."

Plouffe's push to supporters on a White House mailing list augments one by the Obama campaign, which has been asking supporters to contact members of Congress to voice support for the tax cut extension and also to contact Obama supporters in GOP House districts and ask them to call their representatives.

"This debate, which affects millions of middle-class families, isn't happening in a typical Washington bubble where pundits and policymakers talk past each other as they try to rack up political points," Plouffe wrote Tuesday. "Instead, your voices are being heard, and that's making a difference. So let's keep it up."
